[Tommy] How's the search going?

[Rachel] We're just going over old ground here.

You're defending me every chance you get, right?

John Masters has been in touch.

I know exactly what to say at your plea hearing.

[reporter] Do you believe your husband?

Lily Riser is nothing more than a scorned, silly little gir--

Stupid woman.

Whatever it is they give you, I can give you that.

I can guarantee you I'll be better at it.

Tell them I'll talk...

...on one condition.

I need you to contact the prison and set up

a meeting with Lily and Hansen.

It wasn't love.

That's why I'm begging you to stop this, please.

Bastard. You're a bastard.

See what I'm having to deal with?

These mad, stupid little girls trying to ruin my life.

[bird chirps]

[door closes]

[Zoe] Rick? What's happened?

[breathing heavily]

Hey.

Hey.

I'm so sorry.

What? For what? What's happened?

[Rick sobbing]

Hey!

- Jesus Christ. - [baby babbling]

Who's is it?

A student.

[Zoe] What?

She says it's mine.

It was a one-time thing It happened once.

She was going to get rid of it.

But I couldn't let that happen.

I asked her to keep it.

- Keep it for you. - [Zoe] No!

[Rick] Zoe, please listen. Please.

I know you try and hide it every night.

I know what you're crying for, but your body...

isn't working.

I want to make everything all right, though.

Make everything all right for us.

For you.

We can be the family you've always wanted.

Look at her.

She's beautiful.

[baby crying]

Zoe, this is our chance.

[baby crying]

What will we tell my parents?

[Rick] Have it all figured out.

Morning, Lils.

It's a nice day. I was wondering if you wanted to go for a walk.

Come on.

Why don't you have a shower?

It'll make you feel heaps better.

Shall I get you a coffee?

Please, Lils, would you just talk to me?

[door closes]

[siren blares]

[superior] This can't happen again.

[Tommy] Yes, ma'am.

P45?

Don't.

I mean, she didn't tell me anything

I don't already know, right?

I messed up.

But I shouldn't have pushed Lily as out as I did.

[Rachel] You did what you needed to do.

What's the plan?

Isobelle. Bring up the case file.

Let's speak to as many people as we can,

who were interviewed during the time of her disappearance.

- Yes, boss. - All right.

[Melanie] Visitor, Hansen.

Hey!

You look so beautiful.

Look at me.

Don't be like that.

It's not easy being stuck in here.

Well, it's not been easy for me either, Rick.

I just want to see that beautiful face of yours.

Please.

That's better.

Where's Alice?

With my parents

- She okay? - Fine.

You okay?

Everybody is asking me

all these questions and I'm looking after Alice on my own.

I've got hardly any help.

That's why the plea hearing is so important.

So I can come home and be with you both again.

Is your character reference for the plea hearing sorted?

Yeah.

Let me hear it.

[clears throat]

I have loved Rick Hansen

- since I was 14. - 18.

I have loved Rick Hansen since I was 18 years old.

Right, yeah.

Yeah, um...

He's my soulmate. He's...

Uh, he's...

- Um... - Relax.

You know me.

You know me better than anyone in the world.

I have loved Rick Hansen since I was 18 years old.

He is my soulmate. He is the most... generous,

kind and loving husband anyone could wish for.

He is a thoughtful and attentive--

Like you mean it.

He's a thoughtful and attentive father.

He provides for us.

My daughter and I have wanted for nothing...

Alice adores Rick.

He makes her feel loved.

Publicly, he's a well-known

and respected member of the community.

- [loud beeping] - Oh, shit.

Shit, shit, shit, shit.

- Mum, it's fine. - I know.

I can't even cook a meal.

Look, it's fine. We can just pick these burnt bits up.

Leave it, leave it now, Abby. Stop interfering!

[Abby] What's that supposed to mean?

[Eve] You know what it means.

If by interfering you mean protecting,

then yeah, absolutely I do.

It's ruined now, isn't it?

- [loud beeping continues] - For God's sake.

- Lily! - Sorry, I'm just gonna...

I'm just gonna get a glass of water.

[Abby] Oh, this fucking alarm, how do you--

[Eve] What are you up to today?

I'm just gonna shower.

Apparently, I stink.

- I'll get you a clean towel. - No, it's fine. I got it.

Yeah, no, of course.

The towels are just in my bedroom.

- In the right-hand cupboard. - I know, I know, I know.

[soft music playing]

You know, we scoured those woods looking for the remains of

that baby near the cottage and we found nothing.

So, what the hell did he do with it?

I was so sure it's close by.

Yeah.

Unless...

What?

It's crazy.

Try me.

What if the baby didn't die?

Lily passed out. She never saw her.

Yeah, but she heard her cry.

And? What it would be the best place to hide a child?

No, because she had a boy. The Hansen's have got a girl.

You thought it would be kept close by.

There is no way Hansen's wife would go for that.

No wife would go for that.

So what? "Hey, honey, I'm home.

Here's some flowers and there's a baby in the boot?"

How old is Alice?

Four.

I need to speak to Zoe Hansen.

[exhaling]

[Melanie] On your feet, Hansen.

Now.

What's the matter with you?

I've got my plea hearing tomorrow.

And?

I'm innocent.

You and all the others.

Would you escort me to court?

- [door buzzing] - [Melanie] No chance.

[Rick] Go on for me.

Beg.

- What? - Beg.

And I'll think about it.

On your knees.

On your knees, Hansen.

[zipper opens]

["Dear Heart" playing]

[Rick] Brought you a present.

What do you say?

[Lily] Thank you.

[Rick] Go on.

[door opens]

[Abby] Oh, Lily, I'd always wondered where these had got to.

Every Christmas, every birthday,

Mum and I would pick something out for you.

Well, in the years we were talking, of course.

In the years we weren't, you'd get double.

Open them.

No, thank you.

There should be a brand new camera in here somewhere.

Oh, and the bottle of champagne.

This is the proper posh stuff from the year we were born.

I don't deserve them.

Of course, you do.

I only get presents if I've been good.

[doorbell rings]

Mrs. Hansen. Hi. DI Tommy Shah.

Hello.

I was wondering if you have a copy of

your daughter's birth certificate that I could see.

Why?

Oh, it's just part of our investigation.

Do you have it?

Sorry, I don't understand.

It's simply part of the investigation

and the timeline that we're drawing up.

There's not a problem showing it to me, is there?

Oh, no, no, no, not at all.

I mean, I'd have to go and get it.

Good.

One minute.

Thank you, Mrs. Hansen.

I'll be sure to bring this back to you as soon as possible.

No problem.

[panting]

[thunder rumbling]

[rain pattering]

- Lily found her presents. - [Eve] Good.

[Abby] You should go be with her.

- She needs space. - She needs her mum.

Oh, well, you'd know all about that, would you?

Pregnant for five minutes and suddenly

your mother of the fucking year.

[Abby] What like you, you mean?

[Eve] Leve me alone, would you?

You're such a fucking know-it-all.

And what the fuck do you ever do?

You're a fucking nurse

and you can't even look after your daughter.

At least I didn't climb into bed with my sister's boyfriend.

[soft music continues]

[glass shatters]

[Eve] Oh, for fuck sake!

Look what you made me do.

[reporter] And now this morning's news.

Rick Hansen, a teacher who's alleged

to have kidnapped and held captive

one of his former pupils, Lily Riser,

will be attending his plea hearing at Creswick Crown Court.

He will be facing three charges...

- See what we've got? Yeah. - Yeah.

...kidnap, false imprisonment, and rape.

Mr. Hansen had been an English teacher

at Hollowfell Secondary School until his recently arrest.

[Zoe] Alice, shall we head over to Granny's now?

You coming?

[Abby] Lily, it's time to get up.

Ready? I'll make you a coffee.

Come on, Lils.

[Lily] Go away.

- Lils, we're going to be late. - [Lily] I'm not going.

Of course, you are.

And we're gonna be right there with you

when his bail gets denied.

[Lily] Yeah, like that's going to happen.

Why wouldn't it? Come on.

You don't know him like I do.

And you know, the other day when we were at the prison,

you completely misunderstood what I was doing.

And now, because of you,

they're not going to find Isobelle, okay?

No judge or plea hearing is going to fix this.

- Can you just get out? - Lils.

Get out! Go!

Just leave me alone!

She doesn't need to go to the plea hearing.

I do.

You were right.

[knocking on door]

- [Tommy] Eve wait. - [Eve] No!

Please, just hear me out, all right?

I think I might have a new lead.

[Abby] What's your new lead?

Well, I think it's best if I speak to Lily first.

No, she's sleeping.

[Abby] But what do you want to ask her?

Come on, Tommy. Whatever you've got to say, you can tell us.

What?

Did Lily...

Did she actually see her baby die?

- What? - Did she?

Could...

Could the baby still be alive?

Why would you ask her that?

I don't have anything concrete. It's just a feeling.

- [Eve] A feeling? - I know.

- But what am I supposed to say-- -Just ask her.

All right?

Why would he ask that, Mum? About the baby?

- I've got to go talk to Lily. - No, no, don't.

It's not the right time.

And he said himself it was just a feeling.

He's been wrong before. All right?

What Lily needs now is for someone to stand up in court

and tell the truth about who Rick Hansen really is.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

- Abby? - [door closes]

Abby, where are you going? Abby!

Abby?

[siren blaring]

[gloomy music]

Lily.

Can I talk to you?

Please?

[Lily] What is it, Mum?

Lily...

I'm sorry.

I thought you wanted space.

I wish I could take all of this away from you.

But I can't.

I'm sorry.

Hold on.

Do you think I should go?

You know, stand up to him.

You don't need to see him.

You don't need to see him ever again.

[siren blaring]

[keypad beeping]

[door buzzing]

[Zoe] Alice?

It's time to go.

[Alice] I can't find Dolly.

[knocking on door]

- [Abby] Can I talk to you? - No.

- Please, please, please. - Get out!

Zoe, I just want five minutes of your time.

- Please, please. - No!

[Abby] I need to ask you something.

[Zoe] What?

Why are you defending him?

I love my husband.

He's a good man.

[Abby] Is he?

[Zoe] He is an honest man who made one mistake

and is now being taken advantage of.

So whatever your sister says,

we are going to be a family again

because we love each other.

And we've always loved each other.

He kidnapped a teenage girl.

He raped her.

He got her pregnant and then he watched her lose that baby

and then just took it away

without even letting her say goodbye.

What's he got on you

that you can't see what everyone else sees?

Huh?

[Eve sighing]

- [knocking on door] - [Wes] Eve?

Oh, Wes, thank you.

- Still, anything from Abby? - No.

Yeah, she's not answering my messages either.

[Eve] I just don't understand where she's gone.

[Lily] Mum?

- Hey. - All right.

Wes is going to stay with you while I go to the hearing.

- Mum, I don't need babysitting. - I know you don't.

I also hate the thought of you being alone.

- I love you. - All right.

Thank you, Wes.

I'll be in my room.

[radio playing electronic music]

[approaching footsteps]

[knocking on door]

Hiya.

Hey.

Is this as awkward for you as it is for me?

What do you mean?

Mm, well, my ex-boyfriend becomes my babysitter

via becoming my sister's boyfriend.

Yeah, when you put it like that.

For the record, I'm not here to babysit.

What are you here for?

You a knight in shining armor?

What, are you going to protect me?

Go on then.

You going to open these or what?

[Zoe] You make it all sound so easy.

[Abby] It's not. Of course, it's not.

But if you stand up against Rick,

if you stand with my sister, you can finally be free of him.

[Zoe] What exactly is it you want me to say?

[Abby] The truth.

Mummy, ready.

- [Zoe] Go to your room. - [Alice] Who's that?

[Zoe] Go to your room now!

Alice!

[Alice whimpering]

Is that...

Get out.

Get the fuck out of my house.

Rick told her that baby died. It didn't, did it?

I'm calling the police.

What? No, no, no, no, no. You can't do that.

No, no, you can't do that. Give it to me.

- [grunt] - [thud]

[soft music playing]

[Wes] What's that?

[Lily] Abby's diaries.

[Abby's voice whispering] Come home, beautiful sister.

I love you always, sister.

Where the fuck is she? Fuck.

Retrace Lily's steps.

This is not history. Finally.

Scoured the woods, checked Lily's bank account.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry.

The old factory.

Lily, Lily.

Look at these.

These go up until I came home.

They fought every day, Lils.

Every single day.

[Zoe] Hey!

Hey, hey.

Please wake up. Hey.

[emotional music playing]

Oh, no.

[Alice] Mummy.

Boss, Zoe Hansen's medical records just dropped.

[Tommy] Show me.

There it is. In black and white.

Zoe Hansen had a hysterectomy four and a half years ago.

So if that child has just turned four,

there is no way she could be her mum.

Right.

But couldn't she have used a surrogate with her own eggs?

Well, no, she couldn't have done

because she had an oophorectomy.

[Tommy] What's that?

It's where they remove both ovaries.

Plus, there's no record of her freezing her eggs prior to this.

[Tommy sighing]

Alice's birth was registered

three months after Lily said she gave birth.

So how the fuck did they get away with this for five years?

Oh, beat's me.

You're looking smart.

Yeah. Well, I was on my way to court when your mum rang.

I wanted to see him.

You know, look the bastard in the eye.

Wes.

[Wes] Hm?

[Lily] You should go to court.

What are you doing here?

- I told you to stay with Lily. - She wanted me to be here.

- Wes, I specifically-- - She wanted me to be here.

But what if she--

[crowd murmuring]

[Rick] Where is she?

- [Melanie] Who? - My wife.

Dunno.

[clerk] All rise.

Please be seated.

Counsel, we are listed for plea and trial preparation hearing

on the case The Crown versus Hansen.

Yes, Your Honor.

[judge] Looking at the counts,

I take it count three relates to multiple incidents?

[prosecutor] It does, Your Honor.

[judge] Please arraign the defendant.

Mr. Hansen, please stand up.

Please state your name.

Rick Hansen.

Rick Hansen.

You are indicted on three counts.

On count one, you are charged with kidnap,

that you did unlawfully take and carry away Lily Riser by force

without her consent, contrary to common law.

On that count, how do you plead?

Guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty.

[clerk] Not guilty.

On count two, you are charged with false imprisonment,

that you did unlawfully imprison Lily Riser

by physically holding her against her will,

contrary to common law.

How do you plead? Guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty.

I can't look.

You can, you can.

Look him in the eye and remind him

- you know what he is. - [judge] Silence.

[clerk] On count three, you are charged with rape,

that you, on numerous occasions,

did intentionally penetrate the vagina of Lily Riser

without her consent,

and knowing or believing she did not consent,

contrary to section one of the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

How do you plead? Guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty.

[clerk] Not guilty.

Liar! You're a liar!

You've destroyed my daughter's life!

You locked her up and you raped her for five years!

You are a disgusting, evil bastard,

and I will not rest until you are in prison!

[judge] Silence! Sit down and remain silent

or I will have you removed and held in contempt of court.

Do you understand?

Sit down, please.

[judge] Please continue.

Mrs. Hansen?

Mrs. Hansen?

Council, I am reluctant to agree to bail

with a condition of residency

at the defendant's matrimonial home.

However, I understand you'd like to call Mrs. Hansen

to explain why she would welcome the defendant back home?

[John] That is correct, Your Honor.

However, we are still waiting for Mrs. Hansen to arrive.

[judge] Oh, that's unfortunate.

Mrs. Hansen?

Mrs. Hansen!

As luck would have it,

back to the matter at hand, Your Honor.

I ask that you hear from Mrs. Zoe Hansen.

[judge] Is she happy to be sworn?

[John] She is, Your Honor.

Very well. Mrs. Hansen, please come to the witness box.

This way, please.

Zoe, raise your right hand and read the oath, please.

I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give

shall be the truth,

the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

[clerk] Thank you.

Mrs. Hansen, for the court,

could you please state your full name?

Zoe Emma Hansen.

[John] Could you state the nature

of your relationship to the defendant?

[Zoe] I'm Rick's wife.

[John] Thank you.

Mrs. Hansen, I have my reservations

about granting your husband bail to live at your address.

Please can you explain to me

why you are confident this would be safe,

not only for you and your daughter,

but also, for Miss Riser and other members of the public?

I have loved Rick Hansen since I was 18 years old.

He's the most generous, kind,

loving husband anyone can wish for.

He's... uh...

He's...

- [John] Mrs. Hansen. - [Zoe] He's...

Mrs. Hansen, could you please clarify

your answer for the court?

He's...

He's not a good man, Your Honor.

Thank you, Mrs. Hansen. I think we've heard enough.

- [judge] Mr. Masters. - [John] Your Honor, please.

Please continue, Mrs. Hansen.

My life with Rick...

[Rick] No, Zoe.

[judge] Settle down.

He would disappear for days, nights sometimes.

And he'd say it was so that he could write, but...

You don't get scratches from writing books.

And when I'd ask him about them,

he'd say that there was nothing there,

- that I was seeing things. - [Rick] No, Zoe. Shut up.

So, I forced myself to be happy.

I forced it so hard, I think I sometimes was.

I believed I was.

[Rick] Zoe, that's not true!

[judge] Mr. Hansen!

But the truth is, he lied to me.

He manipulated me.

He manipulates everyone he meets, that's what he does.

To stand here and ask you to release him on bail

is dangerous.

He's dangerous.

And to trust him further is to put myself,

my daughter,

Lily,

other women at terrible risk.

I believe her.

[Rick] No, no!

[Zoe] I believe her.

I believe he kidnapped and raped Lily Riser.

No! Why are you doing this?

You're a lying bitch!

- Why are you doing this? - Silence, please!

She's lying, Your Honor.

[judge] Mr. Hansen, please sit down.

[Rick] What's wrong with you? Zoe!

Sit down!

Sit down, Mr. Hansen!

[banging on door]

[Tommy] Abby!

- [ears ringing] - [Tommy] Hey Abby!

- [banging on door] - Abby!

- [banging on door] - Abby!

Abby!

Hey, you all right?

[Abby] Alice is Lily's baby.

I'm still shaking.

You did great.

Thank you.

[John] Mr. Hansen maintains his position

that he has not committed any criminal offence

and looks forward to the opportunity

to fully defend himself in due course.

Now, at this stage, we ask the public and media

to respect the ongoing legal process

and to refrain from any speculation.

We will not be commenting any further.

[Rick] That bitch!

She screwed me. She fucking screwed me!

- Shut it! - Fuck you.

You watch your mouth, Hansen.

I don't feel good.

I need water.

You'll get some when you get back.

[train horn blowing]

[reporter] A quite dramatic turn of events

here at Crescent Crown Court today,

Rick Hansen, who had pleaded not guilty

to the charges against this woman he called Lily Raiser--

[Alice] Should we go home now?

- Hungry? Yeah? - Yeah.

Alice, listen to me.

You just remember

that I'm your mummy

and I love you so much.

Okay?

[Tommy] Abby, I should have taken you to the hospital.

You sure you're okay?

[Abby] Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

[Tommy] We can turn around.

No, just find Lily's daughter.

Lily!

Lily!

[Lily] I read every word.

I get it now.

What you and Mum went through.

I'm so sorry.

I don't want to be like this.

And I promise you, okay, I'm going to try.

Abby...

I want you and Mum to be happy.

You know, I want to be happy.

Abby, I want you to live your life.

[Abby] Lily.

Lily, I need to tell you something.

[Lily] Yeah?

I went to Hansen's house.

Why?

[Abby] To...

To talk to his wife.

To make her see sense and tell the truth about him.

But I saw something.

Someone.

Lily...

Lily, I think your baby is alive.

Look, I know it sounds stupid,

but she was the spit of you, Lil.

I had a boy, Abby.

Yes, I know that's what he told you,

but did you ever actually see for yourself?

I mean, it makes sense.

He took the baby from you, kept it,

played families with his wife.

But it's not just me that thinks this. Tommy does too.

Yeah, he says she's the right age and...

And there's no evidence at all of Zoe ever giving birth.

I felt something, Lil.

I really did.

In here.

I felt like...

Like she was part of us.

Part of you.

Where is she?

[Rachel] Last seen at Crown Court,

Zoe Hansen is not known to be violent.

Given her testimony, she is incredibly vulnerable.

The last thing we want to do is spook her,

so proceed with caution.

Let's go.

I can't believe she was right under our fucking nose.

I know. But we'll find her.

I've got officers at her parents' house,

we've got her vehicle car reg,

I'm on it with her credit cards,

and we're tracking her phone.

- Good. - Okay.

I've also contacted Border Force,

we've got a list of stations and airports to get through.

Send the list. We'll share the load.

[door buzzing]

Van's here. Get up.

Hansen, move!

Hansen!

Hansen! Go, get help.

- [Rick choking] - Hansen! It's urgent.

Prisoner's having a fit.

I need medical assistance.

Get an ambulance down to Crown Court vehicle entrance, now.

[operator] Copy that, sending you an ambulance.

Stop that.

Stop that.

- Stop that! - [alarm sounding]

Fucking hell.

Come here! Stop moving!

You'll be all right, Hansen.

You all right.

Where are you? I need assistance.

Do you read me?

[Wes] What? I don't get it.

So, what? She's alive?

- Yeah. - So what are we doing then?

- We need to go and find her. - Let's just be careful, Abby.

We don't know anything for sure yet.

No, Mum, I really did see her.

[Rick panting]

I'll drive around... What does she look like?

- [Abby] She's blonde. - [Eve] Well, we'll see.

We don't know anything for sure.

We'll have to be really careful.

[Abby] At least that fucker is locked up.

[Rick panting]

[Eve] Yeah, I'd like to see the back of him.

[Wes] You should have seen him in court.

He made out like he was totally innocent.

[Abby] Yeah, I hope they throw away the key.
